Pros
High base (for fresh grads), with a bonus earning scheme for additional projects.
Cons
I worked for a year at Meltwater ES Apac. Basically there were more CONS than pros. Here's just a few: High turnover for analysts. Very political in the circle of people in authority. Huge divide between the boss/seniors, and the rest of the team. Little to no transparency in terms of bonus, clients and contracts between the boss and the analyst team. Long work hours such that sometimes you're in the office when the boss and seniors comes in, and when they clock out of office hours, you're still working on reports you're supposed to complete. On top of all these, the team has to do shift work and live with perpetual irregular work hours. It gets extremely brain-draining. Non-sustainable business model.
